From https://www.royal.uk/royal-family-name However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname...

H and M are trying to make their way in a very challenging world. Of course Meghan's people likely called to offer their client to the awards broadcast--that's the way celebrities work. Oat milk? I can't stand it--but if it's a local female entrepreneur I can see why Meghan wants to help out. It...

Well said.

Very often when real peoples' lives are dramatized, there is disclaimer saying "based on real events" and "some scenes have been fictionalized" or something like that. I suppose it's more of a legal disclaimer, to prevent lawsuits, and the BRF aren't likely to sue. I doubt that Peter Morgan...

Summaries of "The Crown": Charles pines. Diana whines. The Queen dines. OR Charles mopes. Diana hopes. The Queen copes.

Meghan and Harry want to control how information about them is disseminated, not prevent the release of any information. The miscarriage is very sad and they have the right to share their grief. It seems to be what a lot of celebrities do anyway. The declared reason for sharing is often...

I had to turn off episode 9 when the video of Diana singing that song from Phantom. Is there any truth to that scene? I must have missed that little tidbit back in the day. While I enjoyed the actor playing Diana in earlier episodes (She nailed the voice and non-verbal mannerisms), she seems...

Very true. She is incredibly biased. In this, however, I agree with her (and I have great sympathy for the struggles of the real-life Diana). I can hardly bear to watch the character of Charles being portrayed as an immature, self-centered, tortured man. The real-life Charles may have these...

The cousins were institutionalized, but the bloodline discussion was fictionalized. The series creator and writers seem to have major dislike for the BRF and the monarchy. The lack of characterizing any member of the family as having any redeeming features is beginning to really annoy me...

Anderson's portrayal of MT improves with each episode, although overall she is rather stiff (even if MT was stiff, it's hard to pull off as an actor and not look wooden or contrived). Episode 4 was interesting, but painful to watch the interaction between the Queen and her adult children...

I watched the first two episodes. It is certainly very slanted against BRF members. I do worry that people who don't realize that much of this is fiction will use this to reinforce their pre-existing negative views of the family. A few notes about the actors: I keep wanting the actor playing...

“My woman” ? As in the woman I own?

I learned all I need to know about him when he said, "I just feel really proud of my woman."

I'm with you. I personally used the term "Sussexit" to avoid implying that the situation was all Meghan's fault--that is, the fault of someone considered to be at best an outsider and at worst...well, I don't even want to say it.

I believe that the difference between Harry and Meghan's photos and those of the Queen, Cambridges, etc., is that the latter are official working royals, so the public wants to see them at work (and at play, sometimes inappropriately). Harry and Meghan are not official representatives of the...

I am not sure why you are so sure, but each to their own assessment of the situation.

It could just as easily been Harry and Meghan's team who leaked the story. After all, they would need to do so if they wanted to marshall some public attention for their own tribute. I see both sides of this debate, but in the end, if it was a grey suit who made the decision, then they are...

I completely agree. There was no reason to announce it. Charles is the heir, so I suppose it makes sense for him to announce, but William is a different story. [...]

I am not referring to a formal announcement. He may have been worried that if this were widely known, Meghan would be blamed and receive even more criticism than she was receiving at the time. The shooting party seems to have been arranged by friends, not family.

I agree that it is extremely unlikely that Harry and Meghan's PR efforts and the speech by the parliamentarian are in any way related. I also agree that persons of colour occupy a wide variety of political positions and personal viewpoints.

There are lots of reasons why he wouldn't make an announcement, assuming it is true.

Meghan and Harry are on a PR campaign. It's necessary to establish their profile if they want to become a bankable product and earn some cash. On the matter of the Cosmo article, it is mean-spirited and speculative. I sincerely hope that the Sussexes PR machine isn't actively supporting these...

Presidential? She is articulate and goal-oriented. I don't think that these qualities are necessarily presidential. Professional, yes.

It doesn't matter if everyone has tested negative. A negative test is not definitive (up to 30% false negatives) and a person can convert from negative to positive within days after the test if they have been infected. Masks, tests, handwashing AND social distancing must be adhered to at all...

I really appreciate Camilla's well-tailored look. Her clothes almost always fit her perfectly.
